Apostolic Nunciature to Malawi
The Apostolic Nunciature to Malawi is an ecclesiastical office of the
Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. Its offices are located in Lilongwe
, the capital city.
The Holy See represented its interests in the region through its Delegation to East Africa until, with the decolonization of Africa in the mid-20th century, it established relationships with the new independent countries of that continent. Malawi, which under the name Nyasaland had been a protectorate of the United Kingdom, became an independent nation in 1964. The Holy See established its Nunciature to Malawi and named its chief on 21 May 1966.[1]
